How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The sheets on one of our beds probably weren’t changed when we checked in so one of us was itchy all night. After we asked the staff to change the sheets, there was no problem. The AC also didn’t really work- it was either freezing or too hot.

Verified reviewLocation was great. Right next to the trains station.
Room was tiny. Comparable to a prison cell. No plug points near the bedside. Pictures are deceptive and make the room look spacious when they aren't. I asked the staff for a quiet room away from the lift in the booking and 48 hrs before check in and again upon check-in. I still got the first room near the lift. AC buttons didn't work well. Then you press a button something else gets pressed. During my stay the iron shortciuted and electrically blew. Thank god it wasn't my laptop. There is a cupboard but no shelves. That's pointless. If you open your suitcase there isn't any space to walk through the room. I won't be back for sure.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We sincerely appreciate your comments, as they provide valuable insights into our services and accommodations. We are pleased to hear that you found our location convenient, being situated next to the train station. However, we regret that your overall experience did not meet your expectations. We acknowledge your concerns regarding the size of the room and understand how this impacted your comfort during your stay. It is disheartening to learn that the room did not align with what was depicted in our promotional materials. We strive for transparency in our representations and will review these images to ensure they accurately reflect our accommodations. Furthermore, we apologize for not fulfilling your request for a quiet room away from the lift despite multiple notifications prior to check-in. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we will address this matter with our team. Your comments about the air conditioning unit and safety issues concerning the iron have been noted with utmost seriousness. Guest safety is a top priority for us, and we will investigate these matters immediately. Lastly, we appreciate your feedback on storage space within the room; it helps us identify areas where improvements can be made. Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We value every opportunity to enhance our guests' experiences and hope you might reconsider staying with us in the future under improved circumstances.
